FEANTSA welcomes the focus on homelessness in the Social Investment Package (SIP), ‘Towards Social Investment for Growth and Cohesion’, adopted this week by the European Commission. The SIP analyses the social situation in Europe and sets out social priorities for the EU and European Member States. It emphasises homelessness as a priority for smart social investment and includes a recommendation for Member States to develop housing-led strategies to combat homelessness. This new policy framework should stimulate Member States to do better on homelessness and reinforce the EU’s support and co-ordination in this area, which could pave the way for an EU strategy on homelessness. FEANTSA hopes this analysis will be followed up with action and reminds the Commission that Member States would benefit from guidance and support if they are to reach the goals.
